The hummingbird feeder had to be refilled every day with six hummingbirds squabbling over a perch. The demand at the feeder dropped off suddenly. Then we noticed the hummingbirds feeding from the Black locust flowers. There are two large Black locusts within fifty feet of the humming bird feeder. Another hummingbird favorite, honeysuckle, will be available soon.

The hummingbirds have finally arrived in April. This is testament to a very late Spring. With an early Spring they have been known to arrive in February. Most years we discover their tiny nests and enjoy watching the young develop.
